Location – On the way to Panjtarni from Sheshnag Altitude – 13000′ Aconitum violaceum to me. Seems to be Aconitum laeve! I think Aconitum chasmanthum Flowers and Leaves clearly suggest A. violaceum
A. violaceum: Helmet as wide as long, base not abruptly widened; 5-palmatipartite, primary segments deeply bipinnatisect with linear segments, upper leaves much reduced in size, inflorescence usually simple
A. laeve: Helmet much longer than wide, base abruptly widened, 5-9-palmatisect with oblong-obovate segments, upper leaves gradually reduced in size, inflorescence branched Aconitum chasmanthum Stapf ex Holmes looks correct ID ! After going through herbarium specimens in GBIF, I agree with Singh ji for A. violaceum as per GBIF– specimen from Kashmir.

Location: Near Balu ka Gera (Alt. approx 12500 ft) Habitat: Wild Plant habit: herb A. hookeri ? A. hookeri is East Himalayan species, should be A. violaceum or related species. I guess A. hookeri is correct ID. These images are too small to see the details.
May I request you to pl. post high resolution images. Appears close to images at Aconitum violaceum Jacquem. ex Stapf
